Rock and pop music pilgrimages

Other Dylan sites in New York include Cafe Wha? on Macdougal St, which Dylan sought out when he arrived in New York. Here, to an audience of "lunch-hour secretaries, sailors and tourists" he played harmonica for Freddy Neil, who later wrote Everybody's Talkin', popularised in the film Midnight Cowboy; the former Commons coffeehouse in Minetta St where he wrote Blowin' in the Wind; and the Hotel Chelsea, which was the home of numerous musicians, including Dylan, Janis Joplin, Patti Smith, and Leonard Cohen.
